Hey!!! That's cheating!!!. Shots and productions assisted by the master De Sousa should be banned because it's too much of an advantage. You are a lucky man. Welcome to dpc, but I mean you alone :-)

Aha! Good question Debbi.
Well, that was actually a problem. My first choice for a shoe was a little rubber red clog, as I thought it could be a nice color against the white, and the holes would make nice bubbles out of it. But, one problem arose the first time we dove it into the water. It just wouldn't go any deep. And putting some weight inside wouldn't be that flattering because they would be seen through.
So, I went back to the bargain shop where I had just bought the clogs and exchanged them for these nice blue shoes. Once I saw them I loved the colors that reminded me of water. Anyway, to make a long story short, the same problem arose, but this time we could put some stuff inside as it wouldn't be seen through! Just looked around to find some weight. Ended up using some metal little objects but it could have been anything. The good thing about using not just one is the ability to balance the dive. You can put some more weight or remove it until you get the desired weight for the dive. As you can see the shoe is almost aligned with the water surface ;) and it wasn't that easy.
And, yes, there were a few throws too :/

Thanks. Hope it helped.

Hey, ordinaryangel and ti_evom that's a good idea! Maybe I'll try to contact some shoe advertisers. It would be much fun to make a marketing shoe session originated by a DPC challenge!
I'm really gonna think about this possibility! Thanks.

Comment by Debbi:
I'm curious why the shoe didn't immediately float? Rocks? Or just a hard throw?
Nice job!
